Name the two stages of needs analysis
Evaluation of the requirements and characteristics of a sport
Assessment of the athlete
Needs analysis: evaluation of the sport. List, the three attributes required for consideration.
Movement analysis
Physiological analysis
Injury analysis
Needs analysis: evaluation of the sport. Analysis of body and limb movement patterns and muscular involvement.
Movement analysis
Needs analysis: evaluation of the sport. Analysis of strength, power, hypertrophy, and muscular endurance priorities.
Physiological analysis
Needs analysis: evaluation of the sport. Analysis of common size for joint and muscle injury and causative factors.
Injury analysis
List the four physiological outcomes that specifically relate to resistance training program design
Strength
Power
Hypertrophy
Muscular endurance
Needs analysis: assessment of the athlete. List four parts to creating athlete profile.
- Evaluate training and injury status
- Conduct a variety of tests
- Evaluate the results of the tests
- Determine the primary goal of training
Needs analysis: assessment of the athlete: training status. List the four elements of training background to be assessed.
- Type of training program
- Length of recent regular participation in previous training program
- Level of intensity involved in previous training program
- Degree of exercise technique experience
Needs analysis: assessment of the athlete: physical testing. List the 3 characteristics of proper tests
- Related to the athlete’s sports
- Consistent with the athlete’s level of skill
- Realistically based on the equipment available
Needs analysis: assessment of the athlete: test results evaluation. What should be done with the results?
Results should be compared with normative or descriptive data to determine strengths and weaknesses.
Needs analysis: assessment of the athlete: primary resistance training goal. How many training outcomes should be the focus of a season?

What are the general four sport seasons?
- Pre-season
- In-season
- Post-season
- Off-season
Exercise selection. What are the 5 elements of exercise selection?
- Exercise type
- Movement and muscular requirements of sport
- Athlete’s exercise technique experience
- Available equipment
- Amount of training time available
